Great service

Charity made herself more then available to answer all my questions and fought to get me through one of the toughest situations of my life. Thank you Charity!

Posted by Aaron | June 14, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Business

Quick and Easy

I had a legal matter come up suddenly with a business of mine and Charity took care of things quickly and efficiently. If I ever need another lawyer again I will be reaching out to her firm before any other.

Do no use Charity Clark

I hired Ms. Clark to draft a complaint and an answer to the Defendant's counter claim. The papers were filed with the court and rejected by the judge for improper format. I requested a refund from Ms. Clark and she refused. She did not do her job, and subsequently I had to drop my case against the... Defendant. I was charged $800 for her so called work. Again, do not use Charity Clark. The lesson to be learned is never hire a lawyer using Craigslist. You get what you pay for.

Very Professional and won't Nickel and Dime you!

Ms. Clark was amazing on my case. Not only did she make every attempt to settle with the other side to keep costs down and the case out of the courtroom, but when the other side refused and took unreasonable positions, she brought my case before the judge and we walked away with more than what we had... even been offering in settlements. She didn't always agree with what I was asking for, but after we would talk about it she would walk into the courtroom and present what I wanted confidently. I believe that Ms. Clark truly wants what is best for her clients. I have seen her interact with clients, attorney's and judges and she is always professional and well respected. This is an advantage to all of her clients. You would be lucky to have Ms. Clark represent you.

Fantastic Attorney, Fantastic Results

This is my second time I have used Charity Clark for legal needs and I have to say she has gone above and beyond to make sure my needs were taken care of. Very thorough, very organized, and very knowledgeable about the law. Charity has been a great asset to my business as well as personally as I ha...ve utilized her expertise in both areas. Thank you Charity and staff for a job well done.
